best sequel that was never made

[misterwolf999]

the sixth element

 

[Aerosteam]

That movie already exists, OP.

Anyway, I'll go with District 10, sequel to my favourite movie of all time. Not sure what you would be with it though, maybe the Oppressing Adventures of Bug-Alien-Man?

 

[Diablo2000]

Knights of Old Republic 3

Obsidian had awesome plans for it, trying to show the Sith as a actual manece rather than more guys with thunder power and red glow stick. Sadly Lucasarts were horrible and didn't let Obsidian reach Kotor 2 full potencial (Yes I am still hurt about it!) and than Bioware came with that awful comic the bridges Kotor and Old Republic (Which was a salt to the wound)... And Old Republic itself, which was an alright enough game. But wasn't Kotor 3.

This [http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/freddy_v_jason_briggs.html] unused draft for Freddy vs. Jason, back when it was stuck in development hell.

Of all the would-be scripts turned down before the studio found the proper one for Freddy Vs. Jason this 1995 take by Peter Briggs is the most ambitious. Perhaps a bit too ambitious, as it turns out it's a bit confusing for those who don't follow theology.

The script starts with a prologue in 17th century Italy where a witch hunter and a dignitary each use a pair of Byzantine blades (exactly like the one used to defeat Jason Voorhees in Jason Goes To Hell) to defeat a demonic force that was summoned by a necromancer. The blades, the only weapons capable of defeating such a monster, were ?forged by the alchemists of Atlantis from the blade that pierced the side of Christ.?

Already, we're mixing mythology and theology up in a frothy brew.

As the dark force is returning to its home in hell, he promises to come back when time reaches its close.

Flash forward to December 31, 1999. We're in neutral territory here, the small town of Bethlehem, Virginia. The world is fast falling apart around us, literally going to hell in a hand basket. A millennium cult sacrifices a young girl to a pagan god in an old book store and conjures up a familiar visage: Jason Voorhees. He promptly kills off the cultists and then takes his spree to the streets.

But there is a more karmic force at work here as well.

After Steven Freeman and Jessica Voorhees sent Jason to hell 8 years ago, they got married, became a real family with their child, and started a small automotive repair business in Bethlehem. On this particular night, Steven gets a call from a woman having a little roadside trouble. When he shows up to fix the car, it belongs to none other than Alice Johnson and her young son Jacob (last seen in Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child), who were just passing through. The car is going to take a day to fix, so Steven offers the Johnson's shelter in his home. Unbeknownst to each other, both families have had their fair share of dealings with supernatural killers.

Meanwhile, an FBI agent receives a package from the Vatican containing files on both Alice Johnson and Jessica Freeman. Not quite sure what the package means, he and his partner travel to Virginia to speak to Jessica and are surprised to find that Alice is there as well, purely by chance. Together they all sit down to try and sort out the mess. But soon Jason shows up, slicing and dicing as usual.

Jason wreaks his usual carnage and kidnaps Steven and the kids. Taking them back to the bookstore where he was summoned, Jason sacrifices Steven and opens up a portal through which he and the kids travel. Alice, Jessica and the FBI agent follow them and find themselves in a surrealistic painter's interpretation of hell.

Finally Freddy, who up until now has merely lingered in the shadows, has his moment in the sun.

You see, in another attempt to tie the histories of both characters together, Jason used to live on good old Elm Street in Springwood, where the original Nightmare's took place. In fact, his mother and father, fearing for the safety of their child, were among the members of the lynch mob that tracked Freddy down and burned him alive in the first place. Later, the Voorhees family moved to Crystal Lake and Freddy, now a dream killer, murders Jason in the lake. It was also Freddy who was responsible for bringing Jason back to life in an undead state and he used him as a ?puppet? throughout the entire run of the Friday movies.

And now, here in hell, Freddy and Jason are bickering over who gets to kill the interlopers. The bickering turns into a full-on brawl and we finally get to see the titular bout. It's interrupted, however, by the appearance of yet another entity, the shadowy force we witnessed way back in the 17th century. It's Thanos, more popularly known as?Satan! He's been behind the murders all this time and Freddy and Jason have only been his pawns.

Thanos needs to kill the children in order to create a new world in his image, which would be achieved through the slaughter of innocents in his sinful domain. Like a bad James Bond villain, he mentions his plans to take away Freddy and Jason's power once all is said and done and so the two turn their sights on the big guy himself. In simultaneous kung-fu stabbing action, they attack Thanos with the two Byzantine blades and save the world from Armageddon.

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Satan, with occult overtones and a darker mid-nineties edge to it? Count me in. The reviewer didn't like it, but I did, mainly because it was a completionist story that accounted for all of the movies in both series. And the aforementioned Darker Nineties Edge: I love movies like that, and I hate the jokey PG-13 shitfest Ronnie Yu eventually made.

Fuck Kelly Roland's face.

Republic Commando 2. Seriously, I want this game. Badly. In fact, I just might have need for it...

And while I'm at it, the Imperial Commando books, fucking bastards pissing Travis off... /qq

 

[BloatedGuppy]

The never released, died-in-concept "reboot" of the Alien series by James Cameron and Ridley Scott.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/james-cameron-wanted-to-make-aliens-5-with-ridley-scott-didnt-totally-love-prometheus-20140413

Cameron, who directed the sequel ("Aliens") to Scott's "Alien", says "I pitched that I would write it and produce it, and Ridley would direct it, and we had lunch talking about this, and we were in violent agreement, then nothing happened. What happened was Fox went ahead with Aliens Vs Predator, and I said "I really don't recommend that, you'll ruin the franchise, it's like Universal doing Dracula versus the Werewolf," and then I lost interest in doing an Alien film."

Apparently it would have seen the events of the third and fourth film retconned out of existence, and brought the Xenomorph to Earth.

Knights of Old Republic 3

Obsidian had awesome plans for it, trying to show the Sith as a actual manece rather than more guys with thunder power and red glow stick. Sadly Lucasarts were horrible and didn't let Obsidian reach Kotor 2 full potencial (Yes I am still hurt about it!) and than Bioware came with that awful comic the bridges Kotor and Old Republic (Which was a salt to the wound)... And Old Republic itself, which was an alright enough game. But wasn't Kotor 3.

I came here to say that as well. I never liked kotor 2 as a whole, I realise that is a nerd crime but I didn't. I did however like bits of it and I really do belive that if they had been given more time they could have made something great.

But the stuff they used to connect kotor and the Old Republic was just plain bad. What they did with Revan's character till pisses me off. I liked TOR but I always avoided the missions to do with Revan. I stopped playing a while ago but was thinking of going back when I read about a new expansion but considering it is called Shadow of Revan, and that it envolves fighting him in order to stop him from apparently destroying both the Empire and the Republic I will not waste my money.

I read somewhere ages ago that there was a Superman vs Batman film idea in the making way before the upcoming we're getting. In saying so the script for it was so bad (I think it was campy like Batman and Robin) that they scraped the idea altogether.

 

[Zontar]

Star Wars Battlefront 3.

There's also X4: (something they'd come up with here). The X games from Egosoft where great, it's too bad they chose to end it with X3: Albion Prelude. Well, at least we got some good dames out of it. X: Beyond the Frontiers, X-tension, X2: the Threat, X3: Reunion, X3: Terran conflict, X3: Albion Prelude. It was a good run while it lasted but would have been great to see it happen.

Oh, also a sequel to the Supreme Commander games. The first one was great, and Forged Alliance was better, a third one would have been unbelievable to see.

 

[the December King]

Are these sequels that were specifically in planning?

If not, I humbly (super humbly) suggest The Bible 2: The Actual Reckoning.

or The Bigger Lebowski, but it's simultaneously not going to be as cool as what's in my head, and waaaay cooler than what's in my head, man.

 

[Casual Shinji]

King Kong 2: Electric Boogaloo

Son of Kong the white gorilla joins up with Anne, Jack, and Carl and goes to Europe to fight the Nazis.

I seem to remember this being a little joke suggestion with actual animatics in the extra features to Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Ya know there's a comic of Freddy vs Jason vs The Evil Dead? I would have loved to have seen a film of THAT!

Rock Band/Guitar Hero Japan, Red Faction Guerrilla 2, Shenmue 3 and, Knights of the Old Republic 3 spring to mind but that's about it...

 

[Yuiiut]

The Matrix sequels. Not the one's we got, but the plans which included one sequel, which was then spread far to thin over two movies, and one prequel, telling the story of the machine takeover. Instead, we got the bland, uninspired over-stretched sequels, because the were afraid a prequel wouldn't sell.

 

[Starbird]

That movie already exists, OP.

Anyway, I'll go with District 10, sequel to my favourite movie of all time. Not sure what you would be with it though, maybe the Oppressing Adventures of Bug-Alien-Man?

Eish. D9 was a good movie but such a massive downer that I probably wouldn't watch the sequel. I watch movies to be *happy* or at least entertained.

OP:

Games:
- Baldur's Gate 3. Something with the visuals of Divinity Original Sin, the ruleset of Neverwinter Nights 2 and the depth, charm and amazing quality of BG2.
- Soul Reaver remake. Keeping the puzzling and exploration from the original intact with better graphics and acting.
- Mechwarrior 5. Not the MMO crap. A good, single player mechwarrior game with the openness from Mercenaries, the story strength and grittiness from 3 and the world from 1.
- Diablo 3. No, not the bland, ugly, committee designed game we got that is only now a decent ARPG and never captured anything of the atmosphere or compelling nature of 1 and 2. A worthy successor with all the occult imagery, mystery and grit brought back.

Movies:
- Alien 5. I loved all the movies (including resurrection) and while I didn't hate Prometheus, it definitely wasn't an Aliens movie at all.
- Green Lantern 2. Green Lantern is probably my favorite superhero book, but made a horrible horrible movie. Skip the boring crap, do the Sinestro Corps.
- Arachnophobia 2. We need more semi serious giant bug movies.

 

[And Man]

The World Ends With You sequel. Still pissed at Squenix about that teaser trailer that just turned out to be an iOS remake.

 

[sageoftruth]

God Hand 2. Need I say more, God Hand fans?

God Hand was Platinum (then Clover) focusing exclusively on what they did best. They've made plenty of excellent beat 'em ups since then, but while they've managed to make games with increasingly flashy attacks, it seems they've forgotten the simple gratification of spin kicking a guy straight into a wall several yards away. Smacking an enemy with a giant fist made of hair looks awesome, but I still don't feel the impact of the blow as much as I did with the cartoonishly exaggerated impacts in God Hand.
